Epic of Gilgamesh

(Gilgamesh decides to search for the key to eternal life.)

Gilgamesh,
What you seek you shall never find.
For when the Gods made man,
They kept immortality to themselves.
Fill your belly.
Day and night make merry.
Let Days be full of joy.
Love the child who holds your hand.
Let your wife delight in your embrace.
For these alone are the concerns of man.

我曾经爱过你 — 普希金

I loved you by Alexander Pushkin

I loved you; and perhaps I love you still,
The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished; yet
It burns so quietly within my soul,
No longer should you feel distressed by it.
Silently and hopelessly I loved you,
At times too jealous and at times too shy;
God grant you find another who will love you
As tenderly and truthfully as I.

德国的慢,是一种能看明白的慢

译文: 德国的慢,是一种能看明白的慢 (转自东西网)

– “我有个印象,全球至少有30多个产品,这种产品是完全不讲价的,什么叫不讲价?就是一口价,不要也得要,这个东西在别的地方根本就没有。所以德国的每个企业都有这样的理念,不求全、不求大,只求精。”

– “没有管理、没有战略他是不会投资的。反过来如果你对他压根不招待,但你跟他谈判,把你的思路谈得非常清晰,让他看到某些真实的东西,他才能做出决定。而不是你让他请吃吃喝喝。吃、喝,个人友谊可以,但是做事不可以。”

– “我们工人的焊接,很难看的,可是德国人的焊接,一遍过去就不需要再第二遍来修复。中国人做完以后还会有毛糙之类的地方,德国人一点没有。焊工、钳工,一个小伙子什么东西都会,这叫质量、素质。他会那么多的东西,又那么厉害,你说他会自卑吗?”
